US will allow Mexican cattle imports to resume, says Mexican minister

The United States will permit Mexican cattle imports to resume after signing memorandums to lift a temporary suspension, Mexico's agriculture chief wrote in a post on social media site X on Saturday.

Last November, a Mexican official notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that a positive detection of New World screwworm had been detected in Mexico, triggering the suspension in Mexican cattle exports to its northern neighbor.

Mexican Agriculture Minister Julio Berdegue said the USDA's animal and plant health inspection agency had signed the first memorandums to allow the suspension to be lifted, describing the move as an example of collaboration between the two governments.

He did not provide further details on when the cross-border trade would resume.
